What is the history of two spirit?

by oliviared52

I was looking into two spirit and Native American gender identities and was surprised to learn the term two spirit did not originate until the 1990s

Even more specific cultural terms like Muxe didn’t associate men dressing in women’s clothing until the 1950s.

I was wondering what is the actual history of gender identity in many Native American cultures and the history of two spirit?
